It does not mean serial threading, only the thread activation is different.

The original post (the one I replied to) clearly showed that the
tasks have been executed in parallel: the tasks terminated in
the order of execution time. A task stating late nevertheless
finished quickly because it had a small execution time.

Only specialized problems should depend on the thread activation
policy. Usual situations should only be influenced in a minor way.

I would not expect external controllability of the thread activation
policy. But maybe, you find some hint in the Solaris threading
documentation (look at Solaris and Posix threads).
